Like most modern love stories this one started with an app... shoutout to Hinge. Andrea had recently relocated to Fort Worth, TX from Florida and was eventually convinced by friends and strangers a like to utilize online dating apps to meet new people in town. We met on a weeknight in April 2019 for pizza & wine...hence our love for everything Italian! Brandon's personality complimented Andrea’s perfectly. He was calm, patient, and genuine. Brandon found Andrea to be (slightly) over the top, passionate, and worldly. Andrea instantly knew she found "one of the good ones" but was hesitant to give her heart away quickly. Those that know him, know nothing stands in the way of Brandon getting something he wants! He quickly, and strategically, won the hearts of both Andrea, and Gizmo. In November of 2020, Brandon took Andrea up the side of a snow-covered mountain in Vail and got down on one knee. Although neither of us can remember the words shared, we found ourselves in tears as Andrea said YES!. We cannot thank our friends & family enough for following our journey across the Atlantic to celebrate our lifelong commitment to one another.
